My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hi there… my name is Baked Potato.
I know it’s a funny name, but honestly it fits me pretty well. I’m soft, warm, comforting, and once you get to know me, I’m the kind of little soul that just makes you feel better. I’m about 9 years old, a handsome Turkish Van mix, and I’ve been through a bit of a rough patch in life before finding my way to safety.
When I first arrived at the DCAS, I wasn’t feeling very good at all. They helped me get through being pretty sick but I needed more medical help than they could give me there, so the kind people at Whiskers brought me into their program. Since then, I’ve had a full mouth extraction to get rid of my painful teeth, a polyp removed from my ear, cytology and senior bloodwork. I have a little scar on my eye from an old injury. It might make me look a little different, but I promise it doesn’t stop me from loving life now that I finally feel better.
The truth is, I’m just really grateful to be safe. I love gentle pets, soft places to rest, and people who talk to me sweetly. I’ve discovered that being loved is actually pretty wonderful, and I’m hoping my human is out there waiting to spoil me the way every good comfort food deserves.
If you’re looking for a cozy little companion who will bring warmth, sweetness, and a lot of heart into your life… I think we might be perfect for each other. 🖤🤍🐾
